[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#632526: imagemagick: SVG displayed in wrong size

[Marc-Jano Knopp]

Package: imagemagick
Version: 8:6.6.9.7-5
Severity: normal

Updating imagemagick from 8:6.6.0.4-3+b1 to 8:6.6.9.7-5 introduced the
following error:

Symptom
-------

SVG files are displayed in a wrong size (too large by ca. 22 %).


Reproduction
------------

- Create an SVG file of size 640 x 480 using inkscape (template
  "desktop_640x480") or gnuplot or probably any other program capable
  of doing that.
- Run "display <name of SVG file>".
- The file will be displayed with a size of ca.[1] 781 x 585 instead of 640 x 480.
- An SVG file with 800 x 600 will be displayed with a size of ca.[1] 976 x 732.

[1] It might be that fvwm has a small bug where the shown geometry of
    a window is at least sometimes off by one -- at least the geometry
    of a presumably correctly shown "display <name of SVG file>" window
    is 639 x 479 / 799 x 599, according to fvwm resize function.


Remedy
------

Installing the following packages from snapshot.debian.org solves the
problem:

  imagemagick_6.6.0.4-3+b1_amd64.deb
  libmagickcore3-extra_6.6.0.4-3+b1_amd64.deb
  libmagickcore3_6.6.0.4-3+b1_amd64.deb
  libmagickwand3_6.6.0.4-3+b1_amd64.deb


Notes
-----

graphicsmagick 1.3.12-1+b2 ("gm display <name of SVG file>") exhibits
the same problem as imagemagick 8:6.6.9.7-5. Maybe those two packages
rely on the same problem causing package. If not, a separate bug
report for graphicsmagick has to be created.
